You will need to know how many miles you claimed under the standard mileage for previous returns.

The standard mileage deduction includes a factor for depreciation, so in effect you have been depreciating this vehicle while using for business.

In order to report that you sold this vehicle and adjust the sale for the business deductions you have taken, you will need to complete the entire interview for this section.

If you dispose of a vehicle for which you claimed the standard mileage deduction, you need to enter the depreciation equivalent.  Review your prior tax returns and see how many business miles you claimed each year for that vehicle.  

Multiply those business miles by these amounts for the year. For example, if you claimed 1000 business miles in 2014, you essentially claimed 220 dollars in depreciation equivalent for regular and AMT purposes.  Add up the amounts for the years you claimed standard mileage for the vehicle to determine the depreciation equivalent.

2015..........24 Cents

2014..........22 Cents

2012-2013.....23 Cents

2011..........22 Cents

2010..........23 Cents

2008-2009.....21 cents

2007..........19 cents

2005-2006.....17 cents

2003-2004.....16 cents

2001-2002.....15 cents

2000..........14 cents
